Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 980 - 990: What Do You Amount To?

"We've been waiting for you, and you still took your time getting back." The dignified elder, probably Ye Wu's father, spoke.

His expression towards Ye Wu was stern, but the affection in his eyes was unmistakable.

After reprimanding Ye Wu, the elder's gaze swept over Chu Feng, who was beside her, with indifference.

The others at the table also regarded Chu Feng with unfriendly eyes.

Not only did their gaze carry a condescending scrutiny, but there was also a clear trace of dissatisfaction and disdain.

Young Master Jin Ling had been chatting and drinking merrily with the Ye family. But upon seeing Ye Wu, the main character, finally appear, a cheerful smile instantly appeared on his face.

However, as soon as the smile emerged, it froze.

Because he realized that Ye Wu had brought along that contemptuous worm who challenged him at the auction.

Young Master Jin Ling held an immensely noble status and never allowed anyone to challenge his dignity.

Yet, this worm, Chu Feng, had snatched away the Soul Loss Sand he wanted at the auction.

"Child, it's one thing to come back, but why bring a servant into the Ye Residence? Come sit quickly; Young Master Jin Ling and Chief Clerk Feihong have waited a long time for you!"

Ye Wu's father waved, ignoring Chu Feng.

Earlier, Chu Feng had intended to greet the elders of the Ye family.

Unexpectedly, he was given the cold shoulder upon entering.

Not to mention the elders of the Ye family, even the younger members looked at Chu Feng with contempt, their cold attitude radiating arrogance.

In such situations, any man with a shred of dignity or backbone wouldn't try to greet them.

Moreover, Chu Feng was just accompanying Ye Wu in playing out a scene; he certainly didn't care about what the Ye family thought of him. There was no need to win their favor.

Young Master Jin Ling's original smile became utterly stiff.

Seeing the Ye family's cold attitude towards Chu Feng, his smile became natural and lively once more.

"Father, he's not a servant; he's the boyfriend I introduced," Ye Wu introduced Chu Feng with determination.

At this, Young Master Jin Ling's expression changed slightly, and a cold gleam shot from his eyes towards Chu Feng.

A faint killing intent locked onto Chu Feng.

This second-generation ancestor's anger was nothing to take lightly. To him, killing was as easy as snapping his fingers.

Given his status, as long as he didn't kill someone as noble as Ye Wu, no one would dare trouble Young Master Jin Ling.

Chu Feng's theft of the Soul Loss Sand had already enraged Young Master Jin Ling.

But given the disparity in status, Young Master Jin Ling didn't want to lower himself to deal with a small fry like Chu Feng.

Now, Chu Feng dared to compete for Ye Wu, which was unforgivable.

Ye Wu had gifted Chu Feng a top-grade magical treasure, Battle Clothes, which he knew was not so easily given.

Now, he finally understood the gravity of it.

Pfft!

Ye Wu's father spat out the tea he had just sipped.

"Boyfriend?"

"Tell me, how could someone as shabby as him be your boyfriend? He has no strength, no status, no money. He's nothing but a three-no-product. Any man you randomly pick in Sword Immortal City would be ten thousand times better!"

Ye Wu's father exploded with anger.

His mustache even curled in rage.

"Father, how can you speak about someone like that! Although Chu Feng's strength is a bit lacking, he possesses the rare Nine Yang Sword Veins. Besides, his identity is that of a Pill Master, not a Sword Cultivator."

Ye Wu quickly defended Chu Feng.

She knew Chu Feng's temperament well; despite his low cultivation and lack of influence, his backbone was frighteningly strong.

If humiliated like this, Chu Feng might just up and leave, and that would be the least of it.

"Firstly, I'm not an 'object'; I'm a living person. I have flesh and blood, dignity, ambition, awareness of shame, and sensitivity to hot and cold." Chu Feng's face showed no expression, only a chilling indifference.

The arrogance of the Ye family was one thing.

But pointing fingers at him and insulting him—if he stayed silent any longer, it would be as if allowing people to trample on him while cowering like a turtle.

That wasn't Chu Feng's character.

Moreover, Chu Feng had his resources. He held several formidable cards.

With his Demon Body paired with the Blood God Great Method, one day he would storm in and out of Sword Immortal City as he pleased.

Chu Feng's own Nine Yang Sword Veins, along with the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill and the Fake Innate Treasure Black Mountain Seal, would, in time, enable him to stand proudly atop Sword Immortal City.

"Moreover, let me emphasize: I like Ye Wu, being her boyfriend isn't about climbing the social ladder, nor about your Ye family's wealth. I have my own hands; I won't starve."

He needed to clarify things.

Being wrongfully accused and scorned like this was intolerable to anyone.

"Oh, you do have some backbone. And you understand alchemy?" Uncle Ying finally spoke.

He had been intently studying the elixir in the Jade Box.

The elixir was none other than the Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill refined by Chu Feng.

"I know a thing or two!" Chu Feng replied confidently, refusing to be humble at such a time. When it's time to be high-profile, one should be high-profile.

Otherwise, he'd only be looked down upon.

"Your tone is rather big, quite confident. Don't think I, an old man, didn't recognize you. You're the one from the auction who battled with Wushou Dan Venerate from Shennong Mountain, right? Didn't you just refine a Ninth Grade Bone Strengthening Elixir? On Divine Martial Continent, that may be commendable, but here in our Ye family, it's nothing."

"At least, you should have the competence to refine something on the level of this Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Elixir to qualify to enter our Ye family."

Uncle Ying was an extremely skilled Pill Master, with a level surely that of a Supreme Alchemy Master.

In his view, Chu Feng wasn't expected to refine Immortal Pills. But at least, he should be able to refine a challenging Super Ninth Grade Elixir to be considered qualified.

Ye Wu's expression turned peculiar at once.

She wanted to laugh but dared not, suppressing it with great effort.

Uncle Ying wasn't much involved with the auction's specifics, so he didn't know who refined the Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill. But Ye Wu knew exactly.

"If you ask me, during your alchemy days you weren't even born, during your sword comprehension days you weren't born either. And now you come here, in front of so many of us, claiming to have a slight understanding of the Alchemy Dao. Who do you think you are?"

Young Master Jin Ling seized the chance and unleashed a tirade at Chu Feng.

The underlying message was simple.

Chu Feng wasn't even fit to lick his shoes.

"Senior Ye, I respect you as Ye Wu's elder, hence my respect. I've said all I needed to say; whether Ye Wu and I are compatible is not for you to decide. It depends on Ye Wu's own wishes."

Chu Feng had no desire to continue bantering with these people, intending to assert himself before leaving decisively.
